What greeted them was the overwhelming stench of blood within Xuhai City, alongside the scattered remains of the vanguard of the Prince of Yan's Eastern Route Army. Due to the pervasive scent of gore, first-tier Demonic Beasts still roaming the city had gathered to feast upon the corpses. These remains had been deliberately left behind by Prince of Shicheng Hua Tianxiong, who had also opened the city gates to lure in these beasts, effectively obscuring the true nature of the scene.
Although the twenty-plus Senior Martial General-level practitioners led by Ouyang Kun searched with extreme meticulousness, not a single soldier from the Yan army vanguard had survived. They only managed to uncover, in hidden spots specifically used by the Yan army, more precise intelligence regarding the enemy raid left behind by the Eastern Route Army.
The intelligence also revealed that it was Ye Xingchen, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Shadow Guard, who had wiped out the entire elite force of the Yan army in Xuhai City. Upon hearing of Ye Xingchen’s arrival, Ouyang Kun’s heart sank; he knew that even though his brother, Ouyang Qian, possessed the strength of a Peak Fourth-Rank Martial General, he himself was no match for Ye Xingchen, let alone his brother.
